A Mano serves a curated selection of Italian culinary traditions focused on the preparation of handmade pastas and authentic hearth-baked pizzas. The menu features classic techniques where elasticity and texture define every strand of noodle, while the thin-crust pies prioritize high-quality flour and regional toppings for a balanced flavor profile. Diners encounter a space defined by the scent of woodsmoke and the visible craft of dough manipulation at the preparation station. Sauce profiles rely on concentrated tomato bases and fresh herbs that provide depth without unnecessary complexity. This establishment prioritizes consistent results through rigid adherence to traditional recipes that emphasize the integrity of raw ingredients. The environment functions as a functional tribute to Mediterranean kitchen culture where utility and taste intersect for a streamlined approach to regional Italian staples.
A Mano is widely celebrated as a standout dining destination in Mont Tremblant, frequently praised for its authentic, high-quality Italian cuisine and vibrant atmosphere. Guests consistently highlight the wood-fired pizzas, which feature light, fresh dough and flavorful toppings, as well as the variety of homemade pasta dishes. While the majority of visitors report exceptional, attentive service from professional staff members, a small number of diners noted inconsistencies in meal temperature, portion sizes, or communication. Despite varying opinions on pricing and volume levels, the restaurant remains a favorite for many returning patrons who value the passionate service, cozy terrace, and overall culinary experience.
We were looking forward to a great meal but came away disappointed. My wife ordered fish of the day dish & I ordered seafood & spaghetti. The fish of the day dish came with a small piece of fish which was good, however the menu stated "side vegetables" which was a literally a slice of carrot. The black rice was clumped together & completely dried out. The seafood dish was great other than the spaghetti was a little clumpy. We tried to wave the server over to complain about the rice, he flew by asking if we were good. Eventually he came back we explained the problem with the fish dish, he said "I'll have this taken off the bill" when the bill came the cost of the fish dish was still on. The manager came over & he took the cost of the fish dish off the bill. The cost of the meal was not inexpensive $150 with two glasses of wine, I expected this but the overall experience wasn't handled well, as mistakes do happen & it's how to correct them is what brings people back. Atmosphere was good & staff were pleasant.
They gave us the option to sit outside or inside & we chose outside. It started to rain a bit & they made sure the umbrellas were covering us. Group of 4 (2 adults & 2 children who are picky eaters). Food was excellent, the kids devoured their pizza & spaghetti bolognese with zero complaints. The adults ordered the calamari, pizza burrata e prosciutto, & the fettuccine alla vodka. Very delicious!

Une bonne adresse pour savourer de la bonne pizza italienne, la pizza en elle-même vous fait rêver. On a pris la pizza Méditerranée & la quatre fromages. Pour la Méditerranée, je vous assure que chaque bouchée est rempli de saveurs & de goût, entre légumes grillées, anchois, huile piquante & j'ai pris en extra de la mozzarella c'était excellent je recommande! Pour la quatre fromages, je trouve que le mélange salé sucré entre le fromage, la pistache & le miel c'est excellent! On a pris les Cannoli qui étaient délicieux. Pour l'ambiance c'était super cool, de la bonne musique & une belle vue si vous choisissez de manger à l'extérieur! Cependant je recommande fortement de réserver en ligne!
Le service par notre serveur Pascal était impeccable. Bon sens de l'humour, rapide & professionnel. Ambiance rustique chic. Haut plafond, mezzanine, bon éclairage. Pizza fait à la main. Elles sont superbes & délicieuses. Cockteils super bons. Tiramisu succulent. Pour du bon resto Italien dans le village piétonnier c'est « the place »!
A Mano in Mont-Tremblant is a fantastic spot! The atmosphere, both inside & on the patio, is welcoming & stylish. The staff were friendly & attentive. The MARGHERITA & SICILIANA DI POLLO pizzas were outstanding. A great place to enjoy a meal with family! Would come again the next I visit here :)
food was amazing! we shared the beet salad, burrata & calamari between three people & the portions were ideal. Peaceful terrace seating at the back of the restaurant & our waitress was lovely.
Nous avons pris les pâtes à la Vodka. Très peu de goût & petite portion. Très décevant pour le prix malheureusement... le service était bon par contre!
This place is a tourist trap . We were a group of 7 for dinner the kids wanted pasta & pizza so we came here. As a fan of pizza & pasta myself having eaten in many excellent Italian restos I can say objectively that A Mano is probably one of the worst & here's why 1) the portion of pasta was flat out insulting considering the high cost. Now I understand that haute cuisine doesn't focus on quantity, rather quality is the aim. Well, the quality was that comparable to chef boyardee & I'm not even kidding. We ordered plain old spaghetti Bolognese with meatballs. The tomato sauce tasted like it came out of a can & the meatballs were very salty & I like salt. Not to mention they were very firm not like the spaghetti noodles which were the furthest thing from al dente.They tasted gummy... First time experiencing that. Nuf said about the pasta. 2) The lamb was poorly cooked the person who ate it ended up with a nice big raw piece of garlic in her mouth which tells me one thing. There was no marination of the lamb prior to cooking it. The garlic was thrown in ( raw) as an attempt to flavor the meat. Attempt failed. 3)The pizzas were okay. Not great, not particularly good either. The teens enjoyed the pepperoni & cheese pizzas they had. Fair enough 4)The adults had the americana I believe. They barely had enough sauce on them & the toppings were scarce. The crust was good but again over 30$ a pizza, you need to do better. A lot better. 5) the Ceasar salad was kinda mushy. Lettuce was on the soft side & had way too much dressing on it. Instead the focus was a piece of grilled lemon on the side , an attempt at art... But this resto staple which can be so easily executed failed miserably Our waiter was ok, nothing less nothing more. I don't recall him returning to the table after a few bites to ask us how we were enjoying our food . In the end we left the place feeling like a bunch of suckers who just got duped. I don't mind paying for food but this was painful I honestly don't get why there are many good reviews. Next time we go to tremblant we will pack our lunch.
